Kamala Harris is bothered, a Saturday report revealed, as she continues to live out of suitcases awaiting completion of renovations on the vice president's residence at the Naval Observatory.Vice President Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff are living temporarily across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House at Blair House, the president's official guest quarters known for its luxury.'She is getting frustrated,' an administration official told CNN, noting that every day her desire to move into her designated house grows more intense.The vice president, however, could be contributing to the delays despite her complaints.
President Biden on Sunday expressed optimism about getting gun control legislation passed on Capitol Hill — claiming he’s done it before and can do it again.“I’m the only one who’s ever gotten it passed, man,” Biden told reporters at New Castle Air National Guard Base in Delaware.“Everyone keeps wondering whether I care about dealing with rational gun control — the only gun control legislation ever passed is mine.“It’s gonna happen again.”The president said that he was even willing to call Republican members of Congress to help push through a deal
The former president is obsessed with defeating him next year. He’s getting mauled by his own state party. Last week alone, a Republican congressman announced he’d challenge in the primary and the state legislature voted to strip his office of some official powers.
By most accounts, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger doesn’t have a prayer of being reelected.
“He’s toast,” said Jay Williams, a Georgia-based Republican strategist. “I don’t know that there’s a single elected official who would put their neck out for Brad Raffensperger right now.”
"Screw up, move up" is standard operating procedure in corporate and government bureaucracies. But in American journalism, the system goes far beyond rewarding incompetence. It sanctifies bias. It promotes dishonesty. It incentivizes malice.
Want to get ahead in the liberal media? Just follow this credo: "Spew lies, climb high." Take the case of professional character assassin Talia Lavin. This week, she published a high-profile feature at MSNBC.com as an official "MSNBC Opinion Columnist." The hit piece targets a new upstart group of young college conservatives who have broken away from the establishment College Republican National Committee.
The Biden administration is desperately trying to prevent the American people from realizing the extent of the fiasco at our Southern border. Thus, loyal Democrat Chris Wallace this morning criticized Biden, pointing out that the Trump administration was more transparent.
The Biden administration has repeatedly tried to prevent photos and videos of conditions at the border from reaching the American people. Late last week, a delegation of 18 senators visited the border, in particular the Donna, Texas facility that has been the center of the crisis. The Biden administration sent a political operative (as described by Senator Ted Cruz) to try to block Cruz from filming the Donna disaster:
The Biden administration is putting out a call for government volunteers to report for duty amid the significant surge at the border, but many are asking -- where is the person deputized to 'fix' the line in the sand crisis? As the immigration mess at the southern border gets more and more out of hand, Vice President Kamala Harris still remains inexplicably silent. Even after President Biden officially tapped the VP Wednesday to lead in response to border challenges, there aren’t any plans for her to travel south or even address the issue. According to the Office of the Vice
Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) said during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Saturday that he met with a bipartisan group of local leaders at the southern border on Friday who told him the “practical ramifications” of the ongoing immigration crisis “are unbearable.”
Braun along with 17 of his Senate colleagues had traveled to the border this week and witnessed crisis conditions firsthand, including a cramped federal facility in Donna, Texas, that held primarily unaccompanied alien children (UACs) and exceeded capacity limits while forgoing what have become common coronavirus social distancing and quarantining policies for Americans.
As we previously reported, President Donald Trump said this weekend that he might go to the border since Joe Biden didn’t seem to be addressing the border crisis; that he’s been asked by folks in the CBP and ICE to go to the border.
Biden hasn’t gone to the border and, in the past, when asked if he would go, has just blown off the question without any direct responses, downplaying the whole thing.
Today, he was asked about Trump’s remarks about going to the border — did he think that Trump going would be productive, and did he, Biden, have any thoughts
A Border Patrol section chief reported that in recent days, more than 861 criminals have been encountered at the border, including 92 sex offenders and 63 gang members.
“Within the copious amounts of groups being encountered in” the Rio Grande Valley sector in Texas, “a Salvadoran man with a prior conviction for murder was discovered” along with 862 criminal aliens, Chief Patrol Agent Brian Hastings wrote on Twitter Saturday.
Hastings wrote that recently, agents encountered five large groups of illegal immigrant families, unaccompanied minors, and some adults—totalling 539.Embedded in the groups were about 93 unaccompanied children, Hastings said, adding that so far in 2021, more than 18,000 such children have been encountered
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's leading infectious disease expert, has appeared to claim credit for the decision to quickly develop vaccines against COVID-19, in remarks that are sure to anger Donald Trump.
Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, made the comment in an interview with CNN for a special on Sunday, diving into the details of America's pandemic response.(Snip)
Fauci's remarks seemed to gloss over the key role played by pharmaceutical companies and Operation Warp Speed, the Trump administration's program to deliver vaccines to the public in record time. Trump, who has frequently expressed frustration
Scholastic has pulled a popular children’s book written by the author of the “Captain Underpants” series author—for promoting “passive racism.”
The publisher announced that it will no longer distribute Dav Pilkey’s 2010 graphic novel, “The Adventures of Ook and Gluk: Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future,” saying in a statement released last week that the decision had been made with the “full support” of the children’s book author.(Snip) Pilkey, who is also behind the popular “Dog Man” series, also shared a letter apologizing on YouTube, in which he explained that the book was intended to “showcase diversity, equality, and non-violent conflict resolution.”
With the untimely death of Christopher Lasch in 1994 at the age of 61, America was deprived of one of her most articulate and earnestly plangent social critics. By training, Lasch was an historian of 19th- and 20th-century American culture. For some 30- years, he specialized in anatomizing—exaggerating, some would say—certain “odious facts” about American culture.
Already in 1965, in his widely admired book The New Radicalism in America, 1889-1963, Lasch deplored the “decline of the sense of community” in American society.
Indonesian state oil company Pertamina said on Monday it was trying to control a massive fire at its Balongan oil refinery in West Java that injured five people and led to the evacuation of 950 nearby residents.
The fire began just after midnight on Sunday evening, media reported, with videos shared on social media showing huge flames engulfing the refinery, while a large explosion can be heard.
Pertamina said in a statement the fire at the refinery, which can process 125,000 barrels per day, broke out during bad weather.
Once upon a time, Aaron Kindsvatter relished the scholarly world, which he found to be a fascinating marketplace of ideas with liberal leanings.
Those days are gone. Now, a tenured professor of counselor education at the University of Vermont, he finds himself in a surreal, totalitarian environment. Faculty and administrators want him exiled because he has taken a stand against what he saw as pigeonholing of people according to skin color. “Please stop reducing my personhood to a racial category in your teach-ins,” he asked in the first of three videos he made this month that embroiled him in a campus fury.
Joe Biden raged at reporters on Sunday afternoon when he was asked about Donald Trump’s upcoming visit to the border, snapping: "I don’t care.”
The president said he wasn't interested in "what the other guy does" as he disembarked Air Force One today. He added that his administration "is putting together an immigration plan we feel very confident” about.
Biden was responding to plans to go to the border like former president Donald Trump this week suggested he may do.
Biden also answered a reporter's question on "China partnering with Iran."
With a serious tone he quipped: "We've been worrying about that for years."
A violent sex fiend abducted a 12-year-old boy from a Miami street early Saturday morning—then sexually assaulted and shot the child, local police said. The victim was walking on 43rd Terrace near 30th Avenue in the Brownsville neighborhood at about 2 a.m., when a man forced him into a black car, according to the Miami-Dade Police Department. The suspect drove a few blocks away, where he sexually assaulted the boy and shot him, police said. He then forced the victim from the car and drove off, police said.

Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser was ripped on Sunday for posting a tone deaf tweet about auto theft prevention just days after the deadly carjacking of an Uber Eats driver. Bowser shared a video from DC’s Metro police on “preventing auto thefts” following the death last Tuesday of Mohammad Anwar, who was killed after two two teen girls allegedly stun-gunned and carjacked him. “Auto theft is a crime of opportunity. Follow these steps to reduce the risk of your vehicle becoming a target. Remember the motto, #ProtectYourAuto,” Bowser wrote on Twitter on Sunday. Anwar, 66, died when he was flung from the car
New York and New Jersey now have the highest rates of COVID-19 infection in the country.
The Empire State has averaged 548 cases for every 100,000 residents over the past 14 days — only surpassed by the Garden State with 647 cases.
Despite vaccination efforts, New York has not seen a dramatic reduction in infections. Daily cases have averaged about 50,000 people per week since mid-February.
And across the Hudson River in New Jersey, the number of new infections has climbed by 37 percent in a little more than a month, to about 23,600 every seven days.
In New York, Orange and Rockland counties are seeing the highest test positivity rates
Eric Trump said if he or his older brother, Don Jr., lied on a federal form as Hunter Biden allegedly did in paperwork to buy a pistol — which is the subject of a controversial incident involving the Secret Service — they would be jailed for life.Eric Trump was asked by Fox host Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” about the allegations swirling around President Biden’s son and the gun that turned up missing in 2018 — and his involvement in business dealings in China and Ukraine, as reported by The Post last October.“Obviously, Hunter is a troubled kid, right?

Republicans in the Senate and the House must stop entertaining ideas for immigration reform for the time being. No discussion of these matters will be beneficial to the nation until the ongoing illegal immigration problem is addressed in a serious manner.
We need border security reform before we need immigration reform.
(Snip) the GOP needs to grow a pair and refuse to engage with Democrats on matters concerning immigration until they can reach an agreement that results in heightened border security and other measures to decrease the number of illegal aliens crossing the U.S. border.

The battle over legislation in South Dakota to prevent biological men from competing against biological women in school sports will come to a head on “Veto Day,” which takes place on Monday — also the last day of the state’s legislation session.
And now House Speaker Spencer Gosch, a Republican, announced he would recommend lawmakers reject Gov. Kristi Noem’s controversial stance to not veto House Bill 1217 but to ask for revisions to it, including removing the language to eliminate the ban in collegiate sports and removing the requirement for birth certificate sex to be proven annually.
A GOP lawyer who advised former President Donald Trump on his campaign to overturn the 2020 election results is now playing a central role coordinating the Republican effort to tighten voting laws around the country. Cleta Mitchell, a longtime Republican lawyer and advocate for conservative causes, was among the Trump advisers on a January phone call in which Trump asked Georgia election officials to “find” enough votes to declare him, and not Democrat Joe Biden, the winner of the battleground state.Now Mitchell has taken the helm of two separate efforts to push for tighter state voting laws and to fight Democratic efforts to expand access to the ballot
The crisis at the border has deepened to levels not imaginable just a year ago. Even at the height of the surge that took place under former President Donald Trump, things were never this out of control. With the weakness of the current administration, and their priority being to appeal to their left flank, there’s no end in sight either. CBP and ICE are completely overwhelmed.
In response, Donald Trump made an announcement today that he’s planning to go to the border in the next few weeks. Excerpts via The Blaze.
“I don’t know what they’re doing. And they don’t know what they’re doing,”
In a wildly hyperbolic segment about Georgia’s new voter laws, an MSNBC guest claimed that Republicans would have barred Jesus from being given a cup of water while he was dying on the cross.The shocking and vile claim came from Vanderbilt University professor and former MSNBC political analyst Michael Eric Dyson on Friday’s episode of Joy Reid’s The ReidOut.In the lead up to the statement, Reid asked Dyson about his recent meeting with President Joe Biden, and if he’s planning to push the senate to get rid of the filibuster

Former President Donald Trump crashed a wedding reception at his Mar-a-Lago resort on Saturday night. The lucky couple who received the surprise guest were John and Megan Arrigo. Trump drew big laugher from the crowd as he took jabs at the current administration. TMZ, who first obtained the video, used it to trash Trump for making it “all about him” — but anyone who is getting married at Mar-a-Lago is not going to be upset about the surprise appearance.

The Biden White House is planning to push forward with another massive coronavirus relief bill despite having just passed and signed a trillion-dollar relief package, press secretary Jen Psaki told Chris Wallace Sunday.The bill’s $1400 individual stimulus relief is barely in Americans’ bank accounts but the Biden administration says it wants further stimulus payments, as well as increased funding for healthcare and education — two industries that received major handouts in the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) showed video of a woman he identified as a Biden administration staffer blocking him from recording at a migrant facility on this week’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”While Cruz was trying to film at the Border Patrol facility in Donna, Texas, the staffer blocking his camera said, “Please give dignity to the people. Please give dignity to the people.”Cruz said, “So you work for the commissioner. You’re a senior adviser. You were hired two weeks ago, and you’re instructed to ask us to not have any pictures taken here because the political leadership at DHS does not want
In a case that's drawing a lot of attention based on the insane level of leniency shown, two 14-year-olds who bullied, murdered, danced on the body of, and filmed a helpless 13-year-old, have been let off with the mother-of-all-slaps-on-the-wrist by a Riverside County Superior Court Justice.
According to local radio station KTLA:
"Two 14-year-old Southern California boys who beat a fellow student in 2019, causing his death, won’t go to jail but must undergo anger management therapy, a judge ruled.
Riverside County Superior Court Judge Roger A. Luebs imposed the therapy as a probation condition before releasing the teenagers to their parents on Thursday,
In a headline clearly designed to prompt outrage, CNN recently claimed that “Sidney Powell argues in new court filing that no reasonable people would believe her election fraud claims.” Similarly, CBS News asserted that “Sidney Powell tells court ‘no reasonable person’ would take her voter fraud claims as fact.”(Snip)
Clearly responding to that implication, Representative Peter Meijer of Michigan, one of the Republicans who voted to impeach Trump in January, tweeted that Powell’s argument was “pathetic.” (Snip)
What is pathetic here, however, is that CNN, CBS, and Representative Meijer are the deceivers.
Powell has not, in any way, retreated from her claims.
“We now have an intelligentsia which, though very small, is very useful to the cause of Hell.” -C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem claims she’s a victim of “conservative cancel culture.” After vetoing a popular bill to defend women’s sports from the transgender lobby, Noem insists she did no such thing. She claims she only rejected the bill because legendary (but unnamed) conservative legal scholars told her she would lose a fight with the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
"(Snip) Apparently, uninformed cancel culture is fine when the right is eating their own,”Noem spokesman Ian Fury said in a press statement.(Snip).
Apparently, if the NCAA threatens a lawsuit, you get a pass to betray your constituents.
Open The New York Times’ politics page Thursday morning and the top headline reads, “Democrats Begin Push For Biggest Expansion In Voting Since 1960s.” It’s a story about the most important election power-grab in modern legislative history, with a slim, partisan majority of senators seeking to wrest control of elections away from state governments to ensure Democrat control for decades to come.
For starters, H.R. 1 will ban voter ID requirements, mandate early voting windows, allow outside activist groups to deliver votes for counting, do away with notarized absentee ballots, force states to accept absentees for 10 days after an election is over, narrow the Federal Election Commission by one member

An Amish community in Pennsylvania has become 'the first in the US to achieve herd immunity to COVID-19' after 90 per cent of their households became infected with the virus when they resumed church services late last spring.

President Joe Biden is so into open borders that even some Democrats are starting to criticize his handling of the immigration situation. Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) recently slammed the Biden administration for its frustrating lack of transparency regarding the migrant crisis created by his open borders promises made during the 2020 campaign.During a Friday appearance on Fox News’ “America Reports,” Cuellar complained that the president has not been forthcoming about the details of the migrant crisis and the steps his administration is taking to address the matter. He indicated that he is getting more information about the situation than he is from the White House.

Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby says the city will no longer prosecute for prostitution, drug possession and other low-level offenses.
Mosby made the announcement on Friday following her office's one-year experiment in not prosecuting minor offenses to decrease the spread of Covid-19 behind bars.
"Today, America's war on drug users is over in the city of Baltimore. We leave behind the era of tough-on-crime prosecution and zero tolerance policing and no longer default to the status quo to criminalize mostly people of color for addiction, said Mosby in an official press release. The experiment, known as The Covid Criminal Justice Policies
The Minnesota Supreme Court overturned the conviction of a man who picked up a woman outside a bar, took her home, and had sex with her. Under state law, since the woman drank the alcohol willingly, the man could not be charged with 3rd-degree criminal sexual misconduct.
The judges said the man could be charged with a gross misdemeanor — 5th-degree sexual conduct. The difference is that the 3rd-degree assault charge carries a sentence of 15 years in prison while the misdemeanor would put the man in jail for 1 year.
Naturally, many women are outraged at the Minnesota Supreme Court. In this case, the judge’s hands had been tied
Makassar, Indonesia—Two attackers blew themselves up outside a packed Roman Catholic cathedral during a Palm Sunday Mass on Indonesia’s Sulawesi island, wounding at least 20 people, police said. A video obtained by The Associated Press showed body parts scattered near a burning motorbike at the gates of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in Makassar, the capital of South Sulawesi province. Rev. Wilhelmus Tulak, a priest at the church, said he had just finished celebrating Palm Sunday Mass when a loud bang shocked his congregation. He said the blast went off at about 10:30 a.m. as a first batch of churchgoers was walking out
The grounding of a massive container ship in the Suez Canal has clogged one of the world’s most important trade routes and risks sending a shockwave of higher prices around the world that could jolt the U.S. economy.The Suez Canal is the world’s second-most important waterway, constituting about 10% of global trade. About 19,000 vessels, or 51.5 vessels per day, passed through the Suez Canal last year, according to Suez Canal Authority data. The route shortens a trip from the Arabian Sea to Europe by about 5,500 miles, saving between eight and 10 days of travel time as vessels can avoid sailing around Africa's Cape of Good Hope.

Amid reports Hunter Biden may have given false information on an ATF background check form, it is notable that the punishment for false answers on that form includes fines up to $250,000 and/or ten years of imprisonment.ATF Form 4473 is the background check each would-be gun buyer fills out upon trying to buy a gun at retail. A Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder then calls the FBI and relays the information from the form, receiving the all-clear to sell the gun or a rejection, which means the gun cannot be sold to the would-be buyer. A third option is that the FBI can alert the FFL holder
Part of the Defense Authorization Act that passed Congress over President Trump’s veto (it had only twelve No votes in the Senate and 87 No votes in the House) was the mainstreaming of Critical Race Theory into the U.S. Defense establishment. This attack of morale, good order, and discipline comes in the form of mandating a “diversity and inclusion” (diversity and inclusion do not, apparently, extend to heterosexual males, particularly if they are white) apparatus at all levels of command and essentially instituting something like NKVD commissars to ensure the entire chain of command is supportive of racial grievance-mongering.
Yesterday, US Special Operations Command announced the appointment of its first “chief
A giant container ship remained stuck sideways in Egypt's Suez Canal for a fifth day Saturday, as authorities prepared to make new attempts to free the vessel and reopen a crucial east-west waterway for global shipping. The Ever Given's owners say a gust of wind pushed it and its huge cargo of more than 20,000 shipping containers sideways in the canal on Tuesday, wedging it between the canal's sandy banks. The massive vessel got stuck in a single-lane stretch of the canal a few miles from its southern entrance.
U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) did not know that a newly hired officer had compared former President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler and expressed support for the quasi-Marxist equity theory, a spokesperson said on Saturday.
USSOCOM on Thursday announced the hiring of Richard Torres-Estrada as its chief of diversity and inclusion.
Torres-Estrada last year compared Trump, who was president at the time, with Hitler, who perpetrated the Holocaust, killing millions of Jews in Europe. He also made at least one other clear anti-Trump post, according to Facebook posts reviewed by The Epoch Times. In addition, Torres-Estrada posted an image expressing support for the radical theory of equity,
Fox News’ Chris Wallace spoke with White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Sunday and opened by asking about the migrant surge at the border — particularly the lack of media access to border facilities.President Joe Biden was questioned on that issue during his Thursday press conference. He said, “You’ll have full access to everything once we get this thing moving.”Wallace noted to Psaki that “the only way we know how bad conditions are” right now is because of pictures that members of Congress released.“These kids are living in these conditions now. They’re not living in these conditions some indeterminate time from now
Just one month ago Joe Biden spread direct Chinese Communist Party propaganda when he was asked about Xi Jinping’s genocide of the Uyghurs during the CNN town hall.One million Muslims (the majority of them Uyghurs) have been held in secretive detention camps without any legal process since 2014. It has been described as a genocide, the likes of which have not been seen since WWII.Biden said the Uyghur genocide is just “a Chinese cultural norm.” (Tweet/Video) That was just last month.
Then today Joe Biden suggested Trump did not speak out on the Uyghur genocide or Hong Kong or China?
In Lee Child’s thriller Personal, his audacious hero Jack Reacher lays down the four attributes of good spycraft: hard work, attention to detail, lateral thinking (“outside the box,” as the phrase has it) and unconventional or creative adaptations to circumstance. These are precisely the traits that characterize the mindset and practice of the good writer in any field or genre. Apart from the pragmatic aspects of, let us say, writecraft, one may add, as Ernest Hemingway did in A Moveable Feast, a moral component as well. “All you have to do is write one true sentence,” Hemingway said. “Write the truest sentence that you know.” The rest follows.
Wearing a Superman zip-up hoodie, the 5-year-old Honduran boy looked out the airplane window, pointing at the sky in seeming disbelief that such a large craft was reaching the clouds. A few days ago Yancarlos Amaya was walking along the muddy river bank after crossing the Rio Grande and landing on the U.S. side of the border with Mexico. His mother, Celestina Ramirez, 28, said they turned themselves in to U.S. Border Patrol officers and later spent hours in custody, a night under a bridge and three more days in a detention facility.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo will relax some of the state’s limits on indoor and outdoor gatherings as officials prepare to receive the first shipments of the new Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine, which they hope will dramatically speed efforts to inoculate New Yorkers. The scandal-rocked governor announced the tweaks to the Empire State’s social distancing regulations as he made his first public remarks since two more women came forward with detailed allegations of unwanted advances from Cuomo — all of which unfolded as his administration continues to battle questions about how its policy directives exacerbated the COVID outbreaks in nursing homes last spring.
The Case for American Femininity

Almost 225 years ago to the day, Abigail Adams counseled her husband to “Remember the Ladies.” Her tone in their correspondence was playful, yet serious. Treat women as friends rather than vassals or else we will “foment a Rebelion,” she teased, or was it warned? She appealed to the principles of equality and consent of the governed with charming pluck. Hers was a great example of spirited femininity, which combines Americanism and femininity. It is both cultivated by and protective of American principles.

While Americans have been protected from paying for elective abortions with their federal tax dollars since 1976, that decades-old reprieve could soon be coming to an end. Democrats in Congress on Thursday reintroduced legislation to end the Hyde Amendment with the Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance Act of 2021, also known as the EACH Act for short.

From President Joe Biden on down, the administration is telling nonstop, bald-faced lies about the border crisis — while trying to stop the media from reporting the truth.Biden insists the surge is normal, when it’s setting records. He insists it’s not because of his words and policies, when common sense, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and the migrants themselves say the opposite. He also pretends it’s all his predecessor’s fault, with yet more lies about what President Donald Trump did.And he claims most illegal crossers are being turned back, when officials on the ground report the reverse.
Two weeks ago, I wrote of the Department of Justice’s overreach respecting some of the hundreds of January 6 defendants. On Friday the D.C. Circuit clipped the department’s wings. I expect more such losses as time goes on and the Department must actually present evidence in contested trials.
The ploy of keeping in D.C. jails without bail some of the protestors who engaged in no specific violent acts at the Capitol until their cases can be heard was very obviously designed to compel them to plea bargain so they could return home to their families and jobs, and the three-judge panel wasn’t buying it.
On Thursday, former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele on MSNBC’s “The Beat” predicted there would be consequences for Republican lawmakers and Gov.
